On-Line vendor. First trial order .. Update added.
Supplier on Amazon "Cha Wu Warm Sun Store" Bottom-Line: the Pu-Erh I ordered did NOT live up to my standards .. lesson learned. UPDATE: Brick compaction too high/hard. Tea texture did not "feel right", rough and inconsistent. Also a lot of small twigs in the mix.
Infusion: Colour a bit on the Red side for me. Smell, unfortunately I found it off-putting, bitter acidic shutting down the olfactory senses quickly. Taste, exceptionally bitter on the lips and front of the tongue. After taste was foul.
